There were a couple of other .22's in our group (including a Marlin 60).

The Henry was a hit with everyone. Upon emptying the tube magazine, my nephew grinned and said he wants one. He already has a pretty nice collection but lacks a lever action. In short, everyone enjoyed handling/shooting this rifle.

The Henry was smooth beyond expectation. I realize I may be exaggeration a bit when I say this, but the Henry seemed to have no more recoil than the Daisy BB gun I had as kid.

The lever action was smooth as silk. Lever action may seem antiquated and out dated to some, but I enjoyed it.

And for me, enjoying something is the gold standard.

The Henry lever actions are awesome rifles and the action is butter smooth. I bought one couple months back and love it.

You definately should get one WOC, they're light, easy to handle and fairly cheap.
